Disinsection in the broadest sense of the word means set of measures for the destruction of insects in a certain area, be it an apartment or an open field. Disinsection from bedbugs usually involves treating the premises with special insecticidal preparations that are toxic to the insects themselves, but of little danger to humans. This also includes the use of special methods for the temperature destruction of bedbugs.
Disinsection of an apartment from bedbugs has its own characteristics in comparison with the same process, for example, against cockroaches or ants. First of all, for the reason that bugs feed only on human blood. It is absolutely useless to offer them poisoned baits, which work well against the same cockroaches - bugs, in principle, are not able to eat anything other than blood.
That is why for bed bugs destruction usually used aerosol products and sprays, which, being finely dispersed in the air, are able to penetrate even into hard to reach places. Bedbugs after such a disinsection die in the same place where they were hiding. When using highly effective preparations capable of maintaining a long-term residual effect on the treated surfaces, new larvae will also die if they develop from bedbug eggs, which are usually resistant to insecticides.
Important!
In the room in which the bugs were started, the disinsection should be carried out without fail: without measures to destroy the parasites, they will multiply very quickly and spread to neighboring apartments. As practice shows, after a few months, even the most comfortable apartment can turn into a real klopovnik.
Modern methods of pest control
Exterminate bedbugs can be in several ways using different means and methods. These include:
- Destruction of bugs by insecticidal drugs.
- Freezing of insects.
- Heat treatment of the room.
Of these methods, insecticides for bugs using insecticides are usually the most laborious,but also gives the most reliable result. This method is most common in urban insect control services.
Freezing of bedbugs is usually done independently, without the involvement of specialists in those regions where it can be used (temperatures below minus 20 ° C are required for effective freezing). Processing the room with heat is also a very effective option, but it requires quite expensive equipment.
On a note
The average apartment or house owner, who applies to the special insect extermination services, usually fails to choose this or that method - the exterminators come with their equipment and simply do their job. However, each company usually has its own arsenal of tools, and by calling several organizations and specifying the methods they apply, you can choose the one that suits you most.
Disinsection of an apartment from bedbugs with the help of insecticidal preparations is the most universal method, it is successfully used by both professional workers and the owners of the premises themselves. The means used for this may differ significantly from each other, for example, by smell, price,efficiency, safety for humans and animals, and other characteristics.
Means for the destruction of bed bugs
The vast majority of insecticidal products for bedbugs come in the form of ready-to-spray aerosols or concentrated solutions that, after dilution, should also be sprayed indoors. In very rare cases, disinsection from bedbugs is carried out with the help of dusts containing insecticides of contact action, but this extermination of parasites is usually much less successful.
On a note
Choosing a drug for disinsection, it is necessary to get acquainted with its active ingredients. Malathion (Karbofos), Permethrin, Cypermethrin, Deltamethrin, Chlorpyrifos, Piperonyl Butoxide and their derivatives are usually used against bugs.
From effective anti-bed bug The following are widely known and often used, for example:
- Clopoveron - a product of the Soviet development, is considered one of the most effective means of bedbugs. It is quite expensive and difficult to purchase, it is applied by a very limited number of companies.
Hangman - a tool designed specifically for home use.It is produced in the form of a concentrate that is diluted with ordinary tap water and sprayed from a spray bottle. One-room apartment will have to buy the drug at 1400-1600 rubles.
- Get - insecticide based on chlorpyrifos, produced by microencapsulation technology. It can penetrate into the body of the insect through its outer covers, and retains its effectiveness on the treated surfaces for quite a long time.
- Tetrix is one of the most widely used insect extermination drugs used by special services. It has a strong unpleasant smell, but it is very effective and has a long residual effect. For use by non-specialists, an analogue of Tetrix is produced - the Cucaracha tool.

We from bugs bought a long time ago Master250. Powerful stuff for all its safety. The parasites really died out in one day, but we didn’t specifically wash another week under the sofas in order to surely destroy them.

All these preparations are concentrates requiring preliminary dilution. From ready-to-use aerosols, Kombat, Raptor for crawling insects, Dichlorv-Neo or Dichlorvos-Universal are usually used.
Important
Modern "Dichlorvos" have no relation to the actual substance with the same name used in the Soviet Dichlorvos. For example, Dichlorvos Neo contains Permethrin, Cypermethrin and Piperonyl Butoxide. Of course, such Dichlorvos do not have a terrible smell, while maintaining the effectiveness of the original.
It is desirable to use concentrated preparations for the treatment of industrial and domestic premises. Bedrooms, kitchens, hotels can be processed by a less aggressive Kombat or Raptor containing fragrances and not spoiling the atmosphere of the rooms for a long time.
Heat treatment: how does it work?
Methods of thermal treatment of rooms from bedbugs are based on the fact that these parasites die at temperatures below 20 ° C and above 45 ° C. Therefore, if there are appropriate opportunities for an apartment from bedbugs you can
- Freeze if the temperature outside is below minus 20 ° C, and soak for several hours. At the same time care should be taken to protect the pipes for water supply and heating (to insulate them so that they do not freeze and burst).
- Steam or hot air.For this, special teams usually use powerful industrial hair dryers and fan heaters.
On a note
There is also a popular way of processing infested with bedbugs furniture steam from the kettle, but in practice it is very time consuming and usually does not allow completely destroy the bugs in the apartment.
Special crews can use compressed gases such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide to freeze bugs. The gas jet in this case affects the nest of bedbugs, destroying the largest of their groups. Similarly produce steam treatment or hot air. As a rule, air with a temperature of about 55-60 ° C is used.
As a rule, due to the labor intensity, only professionals can heat the room from bugs. Often it is combined with the use of insecticidal drugs. The price of disinsection from bedbugs in this case increases, but its efficiency also increases.
Calling pest control
In almost every major city or district center there is a local Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, whose employees quite successfully remove bedbugs. Usually the cost of SES work is lower than the price of disinsection from bedbugs for small companies.
Specialized companies always offer bedrock pest control as one of several of their services. When contacting such a service is necessary:
- agree on the time and terms of work
- get a guarantee that for a certain period the bugs will not appear in the house, and if they do, the specialists will come again
- get instructions on how to prepare the room for treatment
- find out what tools you need to buy for normal cleaning of the apartment after disinsection.
If the manager of the company cannot answer these questions, it is worth thinking about the reliability and quality of work of such a disinfestation service.

“My daughter in the hostel called a special team for the disinsection of bedbugs. According to reviews found her. So from them there was no sense at all. Even the cockroaches are not dead, so maybe they were not a couple of days. While they themselves did not bring Dichlofos and did not poison them, the bugs continued to bite. But at our home the SES did a good job, after which we had confidence in such brigades. In general, now we are either calling the SES, or we are hitting ourselves ... "

In any case, before the arrival of the service workers, it is necessary to move the furniture away from the walls, free the corners and edges of the carpets so that after processing they can be quickly rolled up, the carpets removed from the walls and bed linen from the beds.
After working disinsectors in the room it is necessary to carry out a thorough wet cleaning and air it until the insecticide smell disappears.
What about the money?
The cost of the work of special teams disinfestation is usually slightly higher than the cost of the drug, necessary for the independent removal of parasites in the room. For example, SES processes a one-room apartment for approximately 1200-1400 rubles. The set of bottles will cost approximately the same amount. funds Executioner for processing the same area. Processing a five-room apartment costs, respectively, 2000-2200 rubles.
Specialized companies have a price for disinsection from bed bugs a little higher, and starts from 1600 rubles for a one-room apartment. In large cities, the service is more expensive, in small cities it is cheaper, but the variation in prices is usually insignificant.
On a note
Lower prices in SES do not mean lower service at all. Usually, the staff of the SES regularly undergo refresher courses in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Services, and the clients themselves can choose the drugs with which their premises will be processed.
Self Disinsection
For self removing bedbugs from the apartment it is necessary:
- buy an insecticidal drug, preferably - optimally combining efficiency, price, no unpleasant odor and safety in use (how to choose a drug for bedbugs, see the section on the Bed Bugs Means).
- In the apartment, move furniture away from the walls, remove carpets, remove clothes and linen from the cabinets.
- Remove from the premises of all people and animals.
- Spray the product on the maximum number of surfaces, under carpets, on furniture, especially on beds and a sofa.
- Close the windows and doors in the apartment for several hours.
- At the end of the disinsection procedure, ventilate the room and carry out a wet cleaning in it.
As a rule, with a weak infection of the room with bugs and the use of an effective drug, a single treatment is sufficient for complete elimination of bugs. In rare cases (for example, when a room is heavily infected), after such treatment, surviving eggs remain, from which larvae hatch 1-2 weeks later. If, after the first disinsection, only a few insects are found in the room, the procedure should be repeated after two weeks.
In general, from the experience of those who have already deduced bedbugs, it can be concluded that the challenge of special teams is more profitable and more reliable than self-treatment of the premises. The latter is justified primarily in the villages in which the disinsection teams do not work, and in rare cases when the handler can buy drugs for very little money. In other situations, the challenge of professionals allows you to save time, health and strength.
